As well as getting extra income of course. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 5056 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Final tickets process https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/news/wembley-ticket-news-2025 Most of us will be in pot 7 Pot 7, also known as… Edited February 10 by Christmas Tree 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1328 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 How many season ticket holders do we have now? You have to be one down to pot 5 but apparently only the first 3 pots are all guaranteed tickets. I suspect there will be a lot of people unhappy with the way they have split this, but I guess that would be the case regardless of how they split it.

I guess if you were a member and had managed to get a few cup tickets you would be miffed that a season ticket holder who only went to one cup game was ahead of you. Otherwise, I'm not sure what they could have done differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system is fair but fucks up when parents and kids are in different pots as @Renton will attest. It sounds very similar to what the system was for the 90s Wembley games ie if you’re a season ticket holder and you’ve been to the cup games you’ll get a ticket and fuckin away ticket loyalty points are nowhere near the criteria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10280 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 After all my contacts failed in providing a ticket last time I won’t bother unless someone offers me one. I might come up to Newcastle to spend a couple of days there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 440 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If you've been to the cup games and don't have a season ticket, you deserve a ticket over a season ticket holder who's been to no cup games. Season ticket gives you the privilege of seeing every league game, you shouldn't just be rewarded for a competition you've not bothered your arse for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 36191 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If someone said to me as a young man we'd get to four cup finals and I wouldn't get to any I'd have believed you but still been mightily pissed off about it, now I'm not a young man and it isn't as raw but I do think I've pissed someone off in another life.

On the other hand if you miss just one cup game for reasons out of your control you're fucked, meaning potentially buying tickets and not attending matches. And leaving an empty seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay for that privilege though… I think historically that’s viewed at loyalty to the club itself for which you’re rewarded with first dabs..it appears that’s still the case but not really. My mate didn’t take his ticket for one of the home ties and despite having been a season ticket holder since the 80s and having been to all Wembley games since the 90s he’s in a ballot in pot 4… he’s fuckin raging tonight… Edited February 10 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 440 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Paid for the privilege of 19 league games and first dibs at Cup games. If you don't take up that option I think you waive the right to be front of the queue for the Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
